These planes protect British homes and industries from aerial attack and harass enemy shipping and transport. When enemy bombers approach Britain, the fighters go up to drive them away. Here is a Bermuda fighter plane shooting down an enemy bomber over one of Britain's industrial towns. Bermuda fighter planes also take part in offensive sweeps over enemy-occupied territory and cause much damage to shipping and transport and communications with their machine-gun fire. Bermuda fighters protect Allied merchant ships from hostile aircraft. Many vital cargoes have reached port only because of the watchful presence of fighter planes. Thank you, Bermuda! Other war gifts from Bermuda include contributions for ambulances, scrap metal, Air Raid Relief, Anti-Aircraft Command Welfare, Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund, Aid to Russia, and many other funds.
